Fix For: 2.0-beta9
- The XML root element was “eventSet”, it is now “events”. The word “set” is
misleading, because, while unlikely, it is possible that multiple log entries
can carry the same timestamp and message.
- The XML namespace is now includes the log4j version number:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/. Previously, it was
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/
- The appender only uses a namespace prefix when needed, that is only for XML
fragments, not for well-formed XML, where the default namespace is set to the
log4j namespace. This creates much smaller well-formed XML files since no
namespace prefixed is used for each element.
- The namespace prefix is now customizable with “namespacePrefix”, with a
default of “log4j”.
- You can pick between pretty (default) and compact XML (no extra end of lines
and indentation). Use compact=”true|false”.
- Better and updated Javadoc.
- Updated manual.
